Cisco Live is Cisco's annual IT and communications conference. Cisco Live features Networkers, our premier education and training program, as well as other educational programs that reach a diverse audience of Cisco customers. Now in its 20th year, this annual customer conference is the "must-attend" event for thousands of IT and communications professionals. Attendees get hands-on, in-depth training on Cisco and Cisco partner products, technologies, services, and end-to-end business solutions. These technically focused purchasing decision makers are a mix of long-time Cisco devotees and new Cisco customers.
Cisco Live provides a collaborative atmosphere to ask questions directly to esteemed Cisco engineers, solve current networking problems through informal white-board discussions, and interact with one another in a variety of activities.
The popular event has been enhanced to include sessions for IT managers, Super Sessions, more networking opportunities, and other exciting additions.
The World of Solutions Expo is an interactive learning environment and exhibit area within Cisco Live, and surveys indicate that it has a significant impact on the real-world purchasing decisions of attendees and their organizations.
Because attendees can actively evaluate Cisco and Cisco-based products and solutions in such a positive learning environment, Cisco partners have a golden opportunity to meet, educate, and influence thousands of qualified prospects in just a few days through sponsorships, booth exhibits, Event Marketing Opportunities, and other onsite programs.
The Cisco exhibition booth, Partner Solutions Theater, and the Cisco Challenge are also located within the World of Solutions Expo.
